I do not yet have a Brodak .049 or .061. I've read mixed comments about them, but mostly good. Basicly, the original ones were built in Asia, and I understand that the newer (Mk-2) ones are made in Maldavia.

If you go that direction, be aware that you must look for planes with beam mounted engines with an external tank or convert the radial mount planes to beam mount. In the Brodak line, the Baby Flite Streak and the NEW Baby Clown use beam mounts. The "serious stunt" planes are mostly for beam mounted engines.

You can find good discussions about the Brodak engines on the "1/2A & 1/8A airplanes" forum. You can also visit the "Stuka Stunt Works" and the "stunthanger.com" sites for current discussions.
